Are Deadlifts Beneficial?

[@barrydeiter1192]

100% agree. Thicker lats thicker back they work for me tho.

[@user-cl7fm1uc4r]

Your lats don't get thicker they get wider only. Your thickness is Teres Rhomboids infraspinatus and of course Traps. You find ways to grow them and you will be thicker no matter what exercise you do.

[@clinteastwood7780]

Extremely small amount on the lats.

[@NoTo_Shido]

@@user-cl7fm1uc4r Not at all. Gaining muscle tissue is making your muscle thicker, no matter which one it is. It's as simple as this. Do you think the new fibers on the lats only grow on the side of them? How absurd is this..

Sometimes they’re really not the right guys to listen to because moving any sort of weight resulted in them gaining muscle.

[@sng3939]

Deadlifts mainly work the spinal erectors and hamstrings. This makes it a great movement for making a string lower back to reduce injury risk (if done with no ego lifting). The traps get a weighted stretch and so are also activated as stabilisers., so help with upper back thickness.

I start my full body training off with deadlifts. Nothing wildly heavy but 3 sets 10 reps with 2 minutes rest. Your traps will grow like crazy and the details start to come in the entire back. Trigger is to push your heel through the ground and let your arms just be hooks🪝

[@alastor1052]

Deadlifts are amazing for your back stability if your rep range and weight is responsible! I do 4x8 in a sort of pyramid set where the first and last set function as a warmup and cooldown set, works wonders!

[@steelmongoose4956]

It’s so important for stability and overall strength. Bodybuilders need that, too. I’m always amazed by how many amateur bodybuilders seem to care nothing for overall health and utility.

[@alastor1052]

I agree with this. After regularly deadlifting 2 times per week I can attest to the functionality of the exercise. So much lifting is done from the floor at my job and having that back stability is very reassuring and helps prevent injury :)

[@jaredevans8263]

Whats interesting is that bodybuilders today do more deadlifts and rows while Golden era guys like Sergio and Franco did way more pullups and upright rows. I think its because in the Golden Era they wanted a wide back to build the V taper, but not necessarily a thick back from the side. Its probably an aesthetics thing

[@bebop4874]

Most important thing about deadlifts is that they maintain spinal erector muscle health, which is super important for heavier men.

[@troyshea3303]

The heavier weight is activating more your nervous system signaling the less active muscle that they need to assist in lifting

[@dealwolfstriked272]

Deadlifts done with reasonable weights are extremely necessary for lower back health as you age. Lower back muscles, at least for me, always lose strength rapidly. When weak I get back issues and when strong I do not.

Deadlfts are absolutely a solid exercise- but not sure how necessary they are if youre trying to look like Jay Cutler lol. Actually a good variation which my yield more “visible” results is the rack pull. The rack pull forces you to use your lats a bit more and takes much of the hamstrings out of the movement.
